Answered on 23 March 2022
Answer
These enrolment projections are based on actual enrolments at Semester 1, 2021. The Department of Education is yet to complete student enrolment projections for 2022. The Department revises student enrolment projections for all public schools annually. Student projections are based on the Semester 1 census of actual student enrolments at each school and take into account student demand growth estimated within the school’s local-intake area.
